hunting in the rain
im am not a fan of hunting in the rain. ill do it and have waterproof equipment but its more of a morale thing for me. also it depends where im hunting. if im hunting a place that isnt local i will stick it out. how about you guys do you hunt in the rain

It depends on temp and intensity for me. If it's a light on and off showery type rain and temps in the mid 50s to low 60s I'll be out there all day. One thing I like about the rain is it quiets my footsteps on the forest floor so I'll hunt the ground instead of hanging out in a treestand. If it's a moderate to hard steady rain, I'll be at home drinkin beer.

If it is a driving rainstorm, I sleep in. Otherwise, I am there. That is why I bought the rain-gear in the first place. Have had a lot of good things happen hunting deer in soft, cold rain and drizzles. Especially in the breaks of the rain.

Like everyone else I dont mind hunting in the light rain either. In fact i killed a nice 7 pt at about 11am a few yrs back, it was a light drizzly rain, & temps in the 40s. The buck was checking a scrape line. However, if it begins to thunder and lightning, Im outta there.
